Welcome to a really fun episode of Transforming 45!

 In this re-release, we honor the launch of “Have Nothing” on Peacock—a comedy documentary television series created by Canadian actress and comedian Carolyn Taylor. This show follows Carolyn on a hilarious quest to choreograph the perfect pairs figure skating routine set to Whitney Houston’s iconic 1993 hit “I Have Nothing.”

In our conversation, Carolyn dives into her journey of self-discovery, overcoming fear, and unleashing creativity. We explore how her transformational path led her to create a show that not only brings laughter and joy but also inspires hope during dark days. Carolyn’s story is a testament to embracing imperfection, the power of collaboration, and the magic of reimagining our narratives.
